2016 Senior Spotlight: Jessica BIllings

Jessica is a graphic design major at Longwood. Her work in Point of Departureseeks to promote public awareness of Alzheimer's symptoms.

"In my research I found that many people are aware that Alzheimer’s disease exists and involves memory issues but most lack the thorough understanding necessary to notice warning signs in others and themselves. The goal of my designs was to work to bridge the gap between the basic awareness and a more concrete understanding of Alzheimer’s disease for those diagnosed and their caregivers. I focused my audience to those who are likely to be diagnosed for the warning signs pamphlet, and to those diagnosed and their caregivers for the guide components."
